Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teachers' perceptions about the various evaluation methods used in SW education and to find ways to improve the usefulness of the field. To do this, we surveyed the teachers who were educated about SW education evaluation. As a result of the study, it was recognized that the use of output, portfolio, and observation evaluation in SW education class is suitable for evaluating Computational Thinking(CT) and useful for field application. On the other hand, paper and self-evaluation are useful for field application, but they are relatively inadequate to evaluate CT. Portfolio, design, and interview evaluations are good for measuring CT, but they are difficult to apply to the field. Also, evaluation criteria, evaluation factors, and strategies were found to be difficult to apply. Therefore, we suggest the necessary measures to apply SW education evaluation method more effectively.

본 연구의 목적은 SW교육에서 활용되고 있는 다양한 평가 방법들에 대해 교사들의 인식을 분석하여 현장 유용성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것에 있다. 이를 위해 SW교육 평가 관련 연수 및 교육을 받은 교사들을 대상으로 설문하였다. 연구 결과, SW교육 수업에서 산출물, 포트폴리오, 관찰 평가를 사용하는 것은 Computational Thinking(CT)을 평가하기에 적절하며 현장 적용에도 유용하다는 인식이 컸다. 반면, 지필평가와 자기평가는 현장에 적용하기에는 유용하나, CT를 평가하기에는 상대적으로 부족하며, 포트폴리오, 디자인, 그리고 인터뷰 평가는 CT를 측정하기에는 적합하나 현장 적용은 어렵다고 응답했다. 끝으로, 평가 수행 시에는 평가 기준, 평가 요소, 그리고 평가 전략 순으로 어려움이 있다고 인식하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 결과를 기초로 SW교육 평가방법을 현장에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해 고려해야할 방안들을 제언하였다.
